Grading and Late Work Policy

Grading:  categories

Notebooks - (25%) - The writing in the notebooks will be done in class and can not be made up.  The expectation is that the student will put full effort into all notebook writing.  These notebooks will be graded in a conference format twice per quarter.

Homework - (5%) - Also see late work policy, if your work is late without an extension...you can NOT make up the academic responsibility portion. 

Academic Responsibility - (30%) Arrive to class on time, and fully prepared. Participate, and be a part of the conversation and the activities.  Place your actual personal cell phone in the caddy when the bell rings every day without reminders. Keep computers shut when not instructed to use them. Avoid playing games, shopping, or anything else on your computer when you are expected to be working with them. Avoid distracting side conversations or disruptive behaviors. You will receive a bi-weekly academic responsibility grade.

Skills - (40%) - All academic assignments will be broken down into the smaller "skills" that we are focusing on. Each skill will receive its own grade.

**LATE WORK - the key here is to avoid late work. However, life does happen.  If you need more time, I am asking you to be responsible and ask for an extension.  If you complete an assignment late, you need to print and then fill out the Late Work Submission Form (this can also be found on the Classwork Tab in Google Classroom). The filled-out form will be turned into your classroom late work folder and graded the next Wednesday
